Does United give refunds for canceled flights?

Otherwise, you can likely cancel the trip for an United Airlines flight credit now that United Airlines has eliminated most change fees.

How do I get a refund from United Airlines?

While you can call the United Airlines contact center to file a refund claim, you may find it's easier to just file a refund claim on United Airlines' dedicated refunds page. To file a new refund claim, you'll need your United Airlines ticket number and the passenger's last name.

All United Airlines ticket numbers start with "001" and you can generally find your ticket number in an email from no-reply@info.email.aa.com starting with "Your trip confirmation." Each passenger receives a unique ticket number meaning you'll need to file a separate refund request for each passenger.

You can also use the refund request page to check on the status of a refund request — even refunds that have been issued in the past. This can be helpful for double-checking that you've received refunds on award tickets that you've canceled in the past.

Bags lost on international flights are reimbursed up to a cap of either $9.07 per pound checked or around $1,688 (1,288 Special Drawing Rights) per passenger, depending on the applicable international convention.
